Today, June 2nd, is International S*x Workers’ Day. ❤️☂️

It’s an opportunity to recognise the contributions of s*x workers and reflect on the ongoing impact of stigma and discrimination.

Two recent Australian articles by P.G. Macioti and Miranda Millen explore how stigma shapes the lives of s*x workers, including barriers to healthcare access and concerns around disclosing s*x work to health professionals.

International S*x Workers’ Day is also an opportunity to listen to the voices and experiences of s*x workers, and to continue advocating for healthcare and support services that are safe, respectful and free from stigma.

Thinking about washing your hands? The answer should always be yes.

One of the easiest ways to prevent the spread of infection is with thorough handwashing for at least 20 seconds with water and soap.

Winter has arrived hard and fast this year, with two Code Blue days already called as a result of extreme weather conditions. ⛈️

There are health risks for people sleeping in the rain, wind, and cold - but one that might be unexpected is the increased risk of asthma attacks.

Nigel from Asthma Australia recently visited Hutt St Centre to share how people at risk of or experiencing homelessness can safely manage asthma this winter.

Asthma can affect anyone at any age, and cold weather and pollen are a trigger for asthma. This makes asthma attacks a real danger for people who have no choice but to sleep outdoors.

Thank you Nigel, for raising awareness about asthma, and for equipping people doing it tough with the information they need to look after their respiratory health this winter. 🧡
